“Our nation has come a long way, and we still have a long way to go.” said Rev. Cecil “Chip” Murray, pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal (FAME) Church of Los Angeles during the 1992 Uprising.

The Watts Uprising and the 1992 L.A. Rebellion were both fiery chapters in L.A.’s history. Many are asking, “how could history have repeated itself?” To answer that question, we delve into the events that conspired to create more conservative reforms.

"Tending Nature" shines a light on the environmental knowledge of indigenous peoples across California by exploring how the state's Native peoples have actively shaped and tended the land for millennia.

Think about your last meal from a fast food restaurant, whatever it was. (If your answer is a snide "I never eat fast food," well congratulations to you and yours, and please see yourself out of this article.) I want you to take a guess as to how many calories were in that meal. Go ahead and write it down. Now, grab that calculator widget on your phone and multiply that number by .20. And then add that newly-created number to your initial calorie guess. That, most likely, is how many calories you actually ingested during that traipse through FastFoodLand.

At least those are the findings from this new study from Harvard Medical School. The survey asked about 3,400 "adults, teens, and parents of school-age children" about how many calories they believed they ate from a meal at a variety of fast food places. When the researchers figured out the actual caloric content of the meals they listed, they found out that we're all vastly underestimating the amount of calories that are really in these things. To be precise, adults underestimate by 20%, the oddly-categorized "parents of school-age children" by 23%, and teens by a whopping 34%. This is a scary proposition, but what might be even scarier is the fact that one-fourth of the participants underestimated their actual caloric intake by at least 500 calories.

(Also of note: Those eating at Subway underestimated the calories in their meals more drastically than any other fast food chain, most likely because the sandwich maker's "Eat Fresh" motto has tricked consumers into thinking that every item there is healthy, even the meatballs and mayonnaise, which are decidedly not.)

For us adults out there, we have it easy. Smartphone apps like Calorie Counter App by MyFitnessPal.com are great tools to have at your disposal. For this particular one, simply plug in what you're thinking of eating -- this app has a database of over two millions foods -- and make your determination from there. But for the younger generation, things are a little tricker. Not so much because of their inability to use smartphones, which they most certainly can do (and probably better than us), but because teen years are generally spent eating anything and everything they can get their hands on as they go through their growth spurt. The question, then, is how do we get them to care?

As the flame grows, Cifelli asks them to describe what they see. They talk among themselves about the smoke and the flame, then Cifelli shows them that the curl is burning on its own. He's no longer lighting it with a flame from below. "What does this tell us?" Cifelli asks. "It shows us that the cheese curl has energy," answers a student.

From there, he explained which calories are good and which are bad, hoping to impart to the kids an understanding of what they should be putting into their own system. But while science classes can help a child's understanding, the most important lessons they learn come after the final bell rings for the day.

If you're a parent, one of the key things to keep in mind when teaching your kids about calories is not giving them the impression that they are "bad." They aren't, really. They are necessary. You don't want to get your child to start "counting calories," as that might merely give them a complex about eating, which is not something you want to instill at a young, impressionable age.

But the best and simplest way to teach your child how to eat properly is the oldest way of teaching your child how to do anything: Through example. Eat healthy and stay away from fast food, and your kids will too.
